It's safe to say any hopes of an Indian summer here in Glasgow have been well and truly dashed.

A massive hurricane which is currently swirling off the coast of the United States is on its way to the UK.

Hurricane Helene is currently causing havoc on the other side of the Atlantic, with hundreds of thousands of residents forced to flee their homes and a full-scale evacuation of properties along the east coast.

By the time Helene hits the UK, it is expected to have weakened to a tropical storm, but the Met Office has issued more than half a dozen for regions across the country, which come into effect on Monday night and last until Tuesday lunchtime.

Now, Scotland will be worst hit in the south, so here in Glasgow we won't be bearing the brunt.

But we will feel a knock-on effect, given the fact that a yellow warning for wind has been issued for East and South Ayrshire, and we're also set for some pretty miserable weather to boot.

Anyone travelling in or out of the city from these Ayrshire regions should take care during the time covered by the warning.

A Met Office statement reads: "Storm Helene is expected to push north-east towards the UK late Monday, before clearing quickly to the north of Scotland through Tuesday morning.

"There remains large uncertainty in Helene's exact track, however a spell of very strong winds is expected, initially for parts of south-west England and west Wales, then later south-west Scotland and the south-east of Northern Ireland.

"Winds are likely to gust to 55-65 mph quite widely in the warning area, with possible gusts of 70-80 mph in exposure."

Met Office officials say residents should prepare for the possibility of injuries and danger to life from flying debris, issues with road, rail and ferry services, closures of roads and bridges, fallen trees, power cuts and loss of mobile phone coverage.

The weekend weather also looks set to be drab in Glasgow.

Temperatures will be an average of 14 C - which will feel like 11C - and heavy rain is set to sweep in on Saturday night.

Sunday will start off wet, but is expected to dry up from early afternoon, before the heavy winds and wet weather arrive on Monday night.

As it stands at the moment, the weather warning is set to lift at lunchtime on Tuesday, and if all goes well, we could be getting some sunshine from about 1pm that day, as well as temperatures of around 17C.

But let's just wait and see, eh Glasgow?
